UNPACKING & BATTERY CHARGING
Unpacking
Inspect the package contents for shipping damage and ensure all components are present. Package contents will vary
depending on components or kit ordered. The product should be inspected before each use following the procedures
in the "Inspection" section of these User Instructions.
1. The 3M™ Battery Packs TR-330, TR-332 Chargers, and the TR-300+ PAPR Assemblies are not intrinsically
safe. Do not use in flammable or explosive atmospheres. Doing so may result in serious injury or death.
2. Always correctly use and maintain the Lithium-ion battery packs. Failure to do so may cause fire or explosion
or could adversely affect respirator performance and result in injury, sickness or death.
a. Do not charge batteries with unapproved chargers, in enclosed cabinets without ventilation, in hazardous
locations, or near sources of high heat.
b. Do not immerse.
c. Do not use, charge, or store batteries outside the recommended temperature limits.
d. Charge in an area free of combustible material and readily monitored, and outside of a classified intrinsically
safe area.
Battery Charger Setup
There are two battery charging options for 3M™ Versaflo™ Powered Air Purifying Respirator TR-300+ Batteries. The
3M™ Battery TR-341N Kit includes (1) 3M™ Charger Cradle TR-340 and (1) 3M™ Power Supply TR-941N. The 3M™
4-Station Battery Charger Kit TR-344N includes (1) 3M™ 4-Station Battery Charger Base/Power Supply TR-944N,
and (4) 3M™ Charger Cradles TR-340. Refer to the chargers and battery packs for the 3M™ Versaflo™ Powered Air
Purifying Respirator TR-300 and TR-300+ Assemblies User Instructions for additional information on proper battery
pack use and maintenance.
NOTE: Immediately charge battery packs upon receipt and after each use.
The run times for the TR-300+ will vary for each configuration and is dependent on headgear, filter, selected airflow,
filter loading, battery selected, battery condition, and environmental conditions.
The battery packs do not require a learn cycle to calibrate or re-calibrate the battery pack charge indicator. However, it may
take up to three complete charge/discharge cycles for the battery to reach its maximum capacity and claimed run times.
Charge the battery pack
1. Inspect battery pack. If cracks or damage are noted, do not charge the battery pack. Properly dispose of the
battery pack and replace.
2. Place chargers in a cool, well-ventilated location free of particulates, combustible material, other airborne
contaminants, and outside of a classified intrinsically safe area.
• Optimal charging temperature range: 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C).
• Full charging temperature range: 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C). Do not charge outside of this range.
